Stale Solbakken is making changes for cup-tie
Wolves boss Stale Solbakken this afternoon vowed to make wholesale changes in tomorrow's Capital One Cup clash at Chelsea as he bids to keep his stars fit for the Championship.
Solbakken promised "nine or 10 changes" from the side that reeled off their third successive win in Saturday's 2-0 success at Peterborough – a result that put Wolves fifth in the table.
Wolves have just had three games in six days and tomorrow's third-round tie at Stamford Bridge kicks off another four in the next 12.
"Nine or 10 players who started Saturday's game will not start the match tomorrow," said Solbakken.
"Some players have played three games in six days and they need to train now so their bodies are ready for another three games in seven days.
"If they made it four games in nine days that would be stupid. It will be a completely new team.
"Players such as David Davis, Danny Batth, Georg Margreitter and Stephen Hunt will get a chance to start in this game and Dorus De Vries will start in goal.
"It wasn't a normal Championship week – normally if we'd have three games, they'd come in eight days, not six. We only had a two-day break between the last two matches with two long journeys as well."
